Excerpt from Burke's Descriptive Guide; Or, the Visitors' Companion to Niagara Falls: Its Strange and Wonderful Localities This fort is admirably planned in the form of a pentagon or figure of five sides. Its walls rise from the solid rock, and are seven feet thick, of blue lime stone, beautiqy wrought. Its roof is arched and covered with gypsum, and sodded with grass.
